About this comic

It is probably a strange thing for some to know that I spent an entire evening the other day thinking primarily about hobos. Could not get them out of my mind, and this little sequence of a comic kept playing over and over in my mind. Hence the results.

Check out John Hodgman’s book “The Areas of My Expertise”… there’s a section on Hobos, including a list of 700 hobo names. He reads all of them in the audiobook, with Jonathan Coulton playing music in the background.

You have perfect timing Scott. You made it just in time for this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hobo_Convention
“The National Hobo Convention is held on the second weekend of every August in the town of Britt, Iowa, organized by the local Chamber of Commerce. The National Hobo Convention is the largest gathering of hobos, rail-riders, and tramps, who gather to celebrate the American traveling worker.” National Hobo Convention August 8th, 9th and 10th, 2008.

Nothing wrong with thinking about hobos, Scott. There was a point in high school where all my friends wore “hobo gloves” as often as possible. They were basically really cheap gardening gloves with the fingers cut off, but they sure made us feel hoboish.

I not gonna lie, I totally didn’t get the Blatosmargodendrisaurus one. Is it just me?However I lghaued my ass off at the other 2…. The picture frame one is my fav!!!Seriously you have to make one of those desk calendars…. these kick the shit out of my Calvin and Hobbes one (But I still love Calvin and Hobbes)
